pete williams is nbc's chief correspondent. pete, thank you for joining us. i used a movie reference there to try to figure out this radicalization thing. of course, we're learning now a bit about our surveillance. what have we learned in the last day about what we knew in our agencies that we didn't know before? >> well, this has raised a question, i think there's a couple of ways to look at this, chris. one is what the fbi and the cia and the government did. then the second question is, should they have done more? do they have enough legal authority to do more? but in terms of what they did, here's the way it's described to us. the russians come to the fbi in early 2011 and say we think that tamerlan tsarnaev, the older one, and his mother are becoming radicalized. they're coming to russia. we want to know more about them. so the fbi looks through its terrorism databases. doesn't find anything. looks to see if the phone numbers that he has are being called by other terrorists. looks for terrorism connections. finds nothing. goes to the house. interviews tam

that's one thing that pete williams from nbc news was insistent all the way through, that his law enforcement sources, which, of course, are impeccable were saying that there was not a suspect in custody. what was going on yesterday and what continues to go on today is that authorities have pored through the video and pictures have been coming in over the last three days trying to pinpoint exactly where those two packages were placed before they went off. now, authorities do acknowledge to nbc news that they have identified by sight a person who is seen placing either a backpack or a duffel bag on to the ground in the place where the second bomb went off in the moments leading up to that explosion. however, according to nbc news, that person has not been identified by name. they just see him on the tape and are working to identify him. he certainly has not been arrested or put into custody. police continue their work today to try to figure out exactly who that person is. last night, the fbi was planning to have one of their twice daily media briefings around 8:00 local time. that was canceled
